VISIBILITY/WIPER
FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STALL FOR 20 SECONDS AND WIPER CONTROLLER DOES NOT FIX IT. MANUAL 1X WIPE WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN IN USE AND WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE WIPERS TO STALL. INTERMITTENT USE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL DUE TO CONSTANT STALLING. CAR HAS TO BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF FOR 2 MINUTES AT LEAST FOR IT TO RESET AND STOP THE MOTOR. THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.

POWER TRAIN
SPECIFICALLY, MY TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO GO BAD AND WILL NEED REPLACING. THE COST IS 3200. IN ADDITION THE CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA 130,000 MILES. I FEEL AFTER READING MY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN CONTINUED TO INSTALL ON MANY VEHICLES AND ENDANGERING THE OWNERS LIVES NISSAN SHOULD EITHER RECALL MY CAR OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THEIR COST .

THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE RENTAL COMPANY INFORMED HER THE REPAIRS WOULD BE AT HER OWN EXPENSE DUE TO NOT HAVING ADEQUATE INSURANCE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DUE TO RUST CORROSION ON THE UNDERNEATH FRAME AND CARRIAGE OF THIS VEHICLE, THE CONTROL ARM ON BOTH SIDES HAS SNAPPED OUT OF PLACE. THIS HAS AFFECTED MY STEERING CAPABILITIES. IT ALSO ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. THE VEHICLE IS WITH MY MECHANIC AND I WILL INCLUDE AS MANY PICTURES AS I CAN. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE UNNECESSARY RUST AND UNFORTUNATELY MY PIN NUMBER HAS BEEN INVOLVED. THE RUST CORROSION IS SO SEVERE THAT THE FRAME IS LITERALLY ROTTING COMPLETELY OUT. THERE IS HOLES YOU CAN SEE THROUGH ALL OVER THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL AS THOUGH NISSAN NOT ONLY PUT MY IMMEDIATE LIFE IN DANGER BUT ALSO MANY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. I WAS IN THE AIR FORCE AND THEY ARE REACTIVATING ME BACK INTO SERVICE DUE TO THE COVID. PROBLEM IS THAT I NO LONGER HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WILL GET ME FROM OHIO DOWN TO MISSISSIPPI.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN TAKING OFF THE TRANSMISSION BELT SLIPS ALL THE TIME SO I TRY TO EASE INTO THE GAS AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE. WHEN A/C IS RUNNING THE CAR HAS ALMOST ZERO ACCELERATION AND HAS A STUTTERING OR STUMBLING ISSUE THAT CAUSES ISSUES UNTIL I HIT 3000 3500 RPM THEN SEEMS TO GAIN POWER. I HAVE ISSUES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEEMING TO SLIP OUT OF ENGAGEMENT OF THE BELT WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT, IF THE LIGHT TURNS BEFORE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I GO TO REAPPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, IF I DONT GENTLY APPLY THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION BELT WILL SLIP AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUTTER. IM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, BUT I HAVE HAD SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AROUND 40000 MILES, A CRICKET CHIRPING NOISE THAT IN THE BEGINNING WAS ALWAYS AT 2000RPM AND NO WHERES ELSE IN THE RPM RANGE. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE I SEEM TO HEAR THE CHIRPING NOISE ANYWHERE AROUND 1500 RPM TO 2250RPM RANGE. AS WELL I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR FAN QUIT WORKING CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVER HEAT PRETTY BAD BUT THE HEAD GASKET DIDNT FAIL LUCKILY. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, AN ISSUE WITH THE A/C WHEN IT STARTS UP THE CLUTCH BASICALLY CLUNCKS ON OR MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE KICKING ON AND WHILE THE A/C WOULD RUN BEFORE THE FAN FAILED, THE AIR WOULD START SMELLING VERY VERY BAD. IT SMELLED LIKE CHEMICALS OF SOME SORT AND IT WOULD MAKE ME VERY NATIOUS TO THE POINT I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE A/C OFF AND LIVING IN THE DESERT IN TUCSON, ARIZONA THIS DOES NOT MAKE FOR A VERY GOOD COMFORTABLE RIDE AT ALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IF YOU HAVE THE AC FULL BLAST AND ARE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WILL STALL OUT AS IF IT WEREN'T GETTING FUEL BECAUSE IT WON'T START RIGHT BACK UP. IN ORDER FOR ME TO START IT I HAD TO PRESS AND DEPRESS THE ACCELERATION PEDAL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN IT OVER. IF TURNING OVER EXCEEDS THE BATTERIES VOLTAGE IT WILL KILL THE BATTERY RESULTING IN WORSE PROBLEMS. IF YOU'RE LUCKY IT WILL TURN OVER AFTER A LONG TIME TURNING IT OVER WHILE PUSHING GAS PEDAL BUT IF YOU DON'T UNPLUG AND PLUG IN THE FUEL PUMP IT MIGHT NOT WORK. IF YOU IDLE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME YOU'LL STALL OUT FOR SURE ONCE THE CAR STARTS SPUTTERING HITTING THE GAS PEDAL WILL ONLY INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE STALL BECAUSE LETTING GO SEEMS TO DRAIN THE SYSTEMS FUEL AND IT SEEMS YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THE FUEL RUNNING THRU SYSTEM AGAIN. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A LOT MORE WRONG WITH FOR STARTERS THE TRUNK IS NOT SEALED BY WELDING IT HONESTLY LOOKS LIKE BROWN PAINT WHICH DOESN'T COMPLETELY COVER THE CRACKS BETWEEN THE FRAME AND TRUNK BOTTOM AND SOMETIMES I GET LIGHT HEADED WHEN IDLING BEFORE IT STARTED TO STALL OUT. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS MADE IN MEXICO AND SEEMS TO BE CHEAPLY MADE BECAUSE THE TRIM DOESN'T EVEN DISPLAY THE VERSA S JUST VERSA ASIDE FROM THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING IT THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK NO LONGER WORKS NEITHER DOES THE TRUNK. YOU CAN HEAR THE WIND THRU THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING AND THE FLOOR SEEMS POORLY INSULATED FROM HEAT. THE BLOWER MOTOR ISN'T BLOWING THE AC OUT AS HARD AS IT WAS. WHEN ACCELERATING POPS ARE HEARD COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WHICH I DON'T KNOW THE SOURCE BUT I DO KNOW IT CAN'T BE GOOD. THIS VEHICLE IS MY MOTHER'S BUT I DRIVE IT A LOT AND THIS IS ONLY MY HALF OF THE EXPERIENCE. I HONESTLY THINK SHE GOT SCAMMED BECAUSE THIS 2017 CAR DOESN'T HAVE ELECTRIC SEATS, DOOR LOCKS OR WINDOWS AND DOESNT EVEN HAVE A KEY FOB OR ALARM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER RECEIVING MANY CALLS AND LETTERS FOR AIR BAGS RECALLS, I SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE AGENT JOSH FOR THURSDAY JULY 16, 2020 AT PERFORMANCE NISSAN AT 1345 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, POMPANO FL 33062, AT 7:30 AM. WHEN TALKING WITH JOSH, HE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS IN MY NISSAN. I ASKED HIM TO DO BOTH RECALLS AT THE SAME TIME. HE SAID BOTH RECALLS COULD TAKE ONE HOUR. WE SET THE APPOINTMENT AND HE GAVE ME THE PHONE TO TALK TO PERFORMANCE NISSAN FOR CONFIRMATION. ON THURSDAY JULY 16, 2020, I WENT TO THE APPOINTMENT. IT TOOK ME ,MORE THAN THREE HOURS AT THE PLACE. HOWEVER, AT THE END THEY TOLD ME THEY DID ONE RECALL, AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS FOR THE OTHER RECALL, WHICH PART THEY WILL HAVE IN THREE DAYS. WHEN THEY GAVE THE CAR, I FELT THAT IT DID NOT SOUND AS IT USED TO BEFORE THE RECALL. THE AC DID NOT WORK PERFECTLY, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT FINISH WITH THE AIR BAG RECALL. ON FRIDAY JULY 17, 2020, MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR TO WORK AS IT IS HER CAR. BUT WHEN SHE CAME BACK, SHE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAD PROBLEMS AND SHE DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. I SAID TO HER THAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT COMPLETE THE RECALL. ON WEDNESDAY JULY 22, 2020, MY WIFE TOLD ME TO DROP HER AT WORK. I TOOK THE CAR, AND WHEN I STARTED IT I FELT THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE AND SHAKING. FOR I DID NOT DRIVE IT , AND I SAW AT THAT TIME THAT MY WIFE WAS IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. AFTER I DROPPED HER AT WORK, I CALLED PERFPRMANCE NISSANCE TO REPORT THAT THEY DAMAGED MY CAR WHILE PERFORMING THE AIR BAGS RECALL. THEY CALLED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSTIC. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY MUST SEND SOMEONE TO TOW THE CAR. THEY INSTEAD GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL FOR PICK UP THE CAR. THEY PICKED UP THE CAR BY 3;00 PM.ON THURSDAY 23, 2020 EMAIL: [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

POWER TRAIN
THIS NISSAN VERSA 4 DOOR FAMILY VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH A FAULTY CVT BY NISSAN WHICH IS SLIPPING AND PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING PROPERLY CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD WHILE ON THE ROAD. A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST INFORMED US THAT NISSAN'S ARE NOTORIOUS FOR PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH FAULTY CVTS AND THEY DO NOT PROVIDE PARTS SO THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED COSTING OVER 4,000 DOLLARS. WE CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN U.S.A. AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP US WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THEY DO NOT CARE THAT THEY PRODUCED ANOTHER LEMON! WE ARE FORCED TO MAKE MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT WE CANNOT DRIVE!
